Lovecraft refers to these genealogies more frequently than I realized, with references to the relationships between characters in different stories taking the form of "Easter eggs" for those who recognize them, revealing further elements of backstory hidden in a seemingly throw-away reference to the Witch Trials or some odd event in a distant age and place.
